i've passively heard hip hop since before i can remember, honestly. i'm going to say Wu, Pac, Dre or Snoop... but the memory is pretty foggy. that's based on consciously listening to hip hop - only after hearing NaS' Stillmatic or the Marshall Mathers LP (yes, two albums beyond the nineties) - and having feelings of nostalgia evoked when i'm hearing that early shit from said artists, years after.
couldn't say for sure. definitely not Ice or NWA though.
idk does Hammer count?
